Mast Brothers: Master Chocolatiers
The designers ** Evan and Oliver Haslegrave , also brothers (and bearded ones) **, known for their work in New York restaurants, bars and shops, have been in charge of the project. They design interiors, furniture, objects and lamps, and their motto is: “build green”. They use native materials and little treated and look for simple lines and intimate environments through the modulation of light.
In this new store they have maintained the original industrial character and have focused on the cohesion between the different spaces, since the premises coexist with a bookstore and a culinary center . The paper that wraps the tablets and that is used to package the sweets comes from limited editions of reproductions of old paper and also from new designs, such as the a series with maritime motifs dedicated to this new space.
Other brothers who worked together, the Grimm brothers, dedicated their lives to collecting popular European tales that have permeated the children's imagination of many generations. The Masts and the Haslegraves have come together and tell us other stories: that of a chocolate that is cooked with the best organic cocoa, is sold in a space with an intimate atmosphere and is tasted with pleasure, the pleasure of sweet dreams of New York.
